Embossing or debossing is a design that is stamped into a substrate with ink or foil, which results in a three-dimensional, raised, decorative or textured surface to provide emphasis to certain elements of a design. Generally, a paper stock with a ticker caliper holds an emboss (or deboss) much better than thinner stocks.
Terms:

Blind embossing: a raised impression made without using ink or foil on embossed image.
Debossing: a recessed impression made in conjunction with ink or foil on the debossed image.
Blind debossing: a recessed impression made without using ink or foil on the debossed image.
The above image shows a brochure that has used the embossing
technique. The cover typography has been embossed and covered with UV laqure.
The larger design has used foil blocking to raise the type
and create a raised texture.
